These pay thousands of pounds and don't actually care what they get. Each to their own, it's their money. However, it's genuinely ruined Jon as an artist.
He doesn't care half as much as he used to in regards to music or looking after his main instrument. He knows he can get away with performing and singing how he does now and have absolutely no complaints from this audience.
I'm no fan of Bruce, I like a few songs, but I wish I was a diehard with some of the content he gives fans. What he does/is doing is exactly what Bon Jovi should do. I'm not even talking about the box, either. Forget that. This is just something that we as fans should get. Whether we have to pay X amount for a show or X amount for a monthly subscription etc...
If Bon Jovi done a duet with The Killers, they'd probably get the whole 'selling themselves' and 'trying to be current' shouts yet Bruce pulls it off because he's still got his core fan base and from what I can gather, produces quality material and puts on one hell of a show still.
I don't know why half of this stuff bothers me as much as it does because I've never tried a runaway show and I didn't try and get the box because I knew it wouldn't be worth the money. Yet I still feel like I've been shafted... Mad.
